Linus Torvalds 66f8e4df00 Ext4 bug fixes for 6.18-rc2, including
* Fix regression caused by removing CONFIG_EXT3_FS when testing some
    very old defconfigs
  * Avoid a BUG_ON when opening a file on a maliciously corrupted file system
  * Avoid mm warnings when freeing a very large orphan file metadata
  * Avoid a theoretical races between metadata wrtteback and checkpoints.
    (It's very hard to hit in practice, since the race requires that the
    writeback take a very long time.)
